- The study investigates the impact of digitizing nurses' paper forms in inpatient care, focusing on time and financial savings from reduced paper use.
- Using the HIMSS EMRAM criteria, the research takes place at Bahçelievler State Hospital in Turkey, which has some digitalized wards and some that are not.
- Results indicate significant time savings—e.g., reducing the time to fill out a patient history form from 45 minutes to 12 minutes—along with a total reduction of 41,289 paper pages over the year for 1,153 inpatients.

The electronic medical record maturity model (EMRAM) is a widely used survey tool developed by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) to measure the rate of adoption of EHR functions in a hospital or a secondary care setting. Turkey completed many standardizations and infrastructural improvement initiatives in the health information technology (IT) domain during the first phase of the Health Transformation Program between 2003 and 2017.
